Rewarding employees with bonuses for a quarter that exceeded anything the street had predicted, and being able to execute on their internal roadmap is something more employers should do. Of course, we don't know where all the bonuses went to, as it would be unfortunate if the majority of that money went to top level management. Still, AMD was able to post a $76 million profit this quarter. Yes, it would have been nice for the street to see earnings in the $125 million range with standard bonuses, but if the company and its employees continue to execute, then perhaps it is money well spent?
